And by the way, this 10th Annual Computer Bowl is being webcast live through the

14
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:41,360
courtesy of Sun Microsystems.

15
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:42,320
It's also going to be archived on the web.

16

You'll be able to access the computer bowl webcast at computerbowl.org, at sun.com,

17
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:46,320
and at bram.com.

18
00:01:46,320 --> 00:01:48,560
Now, as you know, this annual computer bowl is a serious battle of wits to battle the

19
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:50,640
computer community to see whether it is the techies on the east coast or those geeks

20
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:52,400
on the west coast who know more about the history, the events, and the people of the

21
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:52,960
computer industry.

22
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,440
And the winners of this 10th Annual Computer Bowl will be crowned in all three stages

23
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:56,000
of cyberspace.

24
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:57,280
So we're going to get right to it.

25
00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,040
Representing the west coast, the reigning champions are the senior vice president of

26
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:00,240
the Department of Health and the Medicaid, Mark M. Grieco.

27
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,440
Team members, give it up for Mark.

28
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,560
The president and CEO of Storm Technology, Bill Krupp.

29
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,600
The chairman and CEO of Starway, Mike Hyde.

30
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,960
And the president of the west coast team, the President of the Academy of Social Sciences,

31
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:13,600
Vinny Trujillo.

32
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:17,440
Now we've got the cowboys on the left, Super Bowl T.R.V.

33
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:19,200
For the east coast, the calendar of the President of the...

34
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:20,000
There you are.

35
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:21,680
The President of the Academy of Sciences, welcome Stan Wolfson.

36
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:26,160
The President of the Software Manufacturing Association, Ben Lott.

37
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:30,160
The President of the Big Brother Division, Robin Dent.

38
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:36,160
And now the President of the East Coast Team, the Vice President of Strategy and Development

39
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:38,160
and Operations, Walter Mike Dittman.

40
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,160
So it's the cowboys versus the biggies.

41
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:42,160
And they're beautiful.

42
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,160
They're beautiful.

43
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,160
Good.

44
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,160
All right, the first big question I want to introduce is my...

45
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:50,160
A lot of people probably do not know, we have learned over the past years that a lot of

46
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,160
people have asked us questions, and we have learned a lot about the correct answers to

47
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,160
these questions.

48
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,160
So we have with us my two expert judges who are going to roll very quickly, I hope, on

49
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,160
any of these stupid answers any question you give us in here.

50
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:00,160
So please welcome our first distinguished judges, we have Andy Cunningham of Cunningham

51
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,160
Communications, where's Andy?

52
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,160
And Dan Bickford of Cellar Corporation.

53
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,160
Now it is indeed my pleasure to introduce my co-host, forthright computer bull, he is

54
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,160
a native of England, by the way, so look out for any East Coast bio-theater guys, so look

55
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,160
out.

56
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,160
He is known as a studio boss, he has a track of computer and food videos.

57
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,160
In fact, he has designed and developed a groundbreaking, secure website, an association of

58
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:16,160
Anderson Consultants and label diabetes researchers to talk to each other and to share their work.

59
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:20,160
He is a star of Star Wars, Murphy Brown and Toy Story, you have probably seen him recently

60
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:22,160
on television as the Kitty Bo's Man, and you know that all known him as a regular local

61
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,160
bar rider on your call, Q.

62
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:26,160
Please welcome Dan Atkins, our host.

63
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,160
Thank you, everyone, thank you.

64
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,160
This is awesome, isn't it?

65
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,160
Thank you.

66
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:34,160
Thank you, very nice of you.

67
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,160
Ladies and gentlemen, just quickly, I just want to say a couple of things.

68
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,160
One of the young guys, way back long ago, when they had seen one computers, a friend of

69
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,160
mine, one of the local agents, kids were walking by, and we started making fun of him, hey,

70
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,160
hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey,

71
00:03:42,160 --> 00:04:06,160
hey, hey, hey.

72
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,160
500. That is not the correct answer.

73
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:11,160
It was way below 1000. Not one thing can be there are 1000 computer generated people on Earth at the same time.

74
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,160
Alright, second question's on. Some airlines are now allowing passengers to recharge their laptop computers while in flight.

75
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:15,160
What is an organization called the Portable Rechargeable Battery Association?

76
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,160
You wanna know?

77
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,160
It's people with a lot of time on their hands.

78
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:20,160
It's the PLBA. It's a thing.

79
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,160
They're selling what they say to prohibit airline passengers from doing that, recharging their batteries.

80
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:23,160
Why?

81
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:24,160
Okay, the question, the answer is stop.

82
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,160
Because they say there are some problems, including food malfunction, or even fire, by getting a different battery.

83
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:27,160
Fire, of course, we all get to worry about a fire.

84
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:28,160
Right, that's why we have to get on the air.

85
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:29,160
Right, one more here, then we're in.

86
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:32,160
Okay, most every C key keyboard has a tab key. Tab is an abbreviation, so what word?

87
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:33,160
Alright, who was it?

88
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:34,160
Tab? February.

89
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:35,160
Tab, February. February's right.

90
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:36,160
Alright, I know.

91
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,160
The Amiga computer disappeared from the US market some years ago, but in 1997.

92
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:39,160
Amiga Technologies was purchased by a major American...

93
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:40,160
Sam was?

94
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:41,160
Samsung Computers?

95
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:42,160
That is not correct.

96
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:43,160
Hold on, hang on, you guys get a chance to answer.

97
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:44,160
You lose 10 points.

98
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:45,160
John will finish the question, somebody else will bubble, and the one answer is going to be John.

99
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:46,160
We have to give you five bucks later.

100
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:49,160
Alright, now, Amiga Technologies was purchased by a major American computer company, who bought Amiga?

101
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:50,160
Bill?

102
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:51,160
U.S. Factors, Gateway, or IBM?

103
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:52,160
Just hold on.

104
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:53,160
Alright, I see it.

105
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:54,160
Gateway's correct.

106
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:59,160
Alright, now, during the course of this computer bowl, we're going to be bringing guest questions in from the computer industry, asking about little bits of trivia which are of particular interest to them.

107
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:01,160
Our first question today comes from David Flashen, he is president and CEO of Thompson Financial Services.

108
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:02,160
Here is his question.

109
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:03,160
Let's see what we have.

110
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:04,160
October 28, 1997.

111
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:08,160
The industry's electronic trading network, Oasis, helped the New York Stock Exchange profit a record 1.2 billion shares.

112
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:12,160
The most heavily traded stocks on the New York Stock Exchange and the NASDAQ were both technology companies.

113
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:13,160
What companies were they?

114
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:14,160
Michael?

115
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:15,160
Compaq?

116
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:16,160
Microsoft?

117
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:17,160
That is not correct.

118
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:18,160
Compaq was right.

119
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:19,160
Compaq was big on the New York Stock Exchange, it was Intel and NASDAQ.

120
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:20,160
Sorry.

121
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:21,160
Alright, put our next question down.

122
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:24,160
Windows may be the most popular operating system for PCs, but there is another operating system out there.

123
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,160
Hey, I'm a Mac guy.

124
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:27,160
Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh.

125
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:30,160
I'm just going to run across the top of 60 of these, it's sports mode.

126
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:35,160
Windows may be the most popular operating system for PCs, but there is another operating system out there that is distributed free and has been called the most sophisticated operating system.

127
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:36,160
Alright, Mark Anderson?

128
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:37,160
Linux.

129
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:38,160
Nice job.

130
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,160
Alright, so we're going to go to our bonus round.

131
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:42,160
We have four bonus round questions during the course of this game, two for each side.

132
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:44,160
Let me explain the rules for our bonus round questions when we begin with the West Coast first.

133
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,160
Let me tell you the category of languages used on the web, okay?

134
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:47,160
And you can weigh your points.

135
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:48,160
10 a question, 20 a question, up to 30 a question.

136
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:51,160
The same for each of the three questions, how much do I go for?

137
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:52,160
We've actually got 40 points on the score board, but you can borrow.

138
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:53,160
10 points.

139
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:54,160
Alright, here is question number one.

140
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:55,160
English is the most common language used on worldwide web pages.

141
00:05:55,160 --> 00:06:01,160
According to Amos Research and the Internet Society, as of the end of last year, what percentage of all web pages in the world were in English, and I'll accept an answer within 5% of the correct answer.

142
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:02,160
You can consult Denise if you don't want to answer.

143
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:05,160
What percentage of all the web pages in the world are in the English language?

144
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,160
And I need an answer within 5% of the correct answer.

145
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:08,160
85, you jumped the buck.

146
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:09,160
Me?

147
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:10,160
85.

148
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:11,160
85?

149
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:12,160
You're right on, it was 82.

150
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:13,160
Very good.

151
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:14,160
Very good.

152
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:15,160
You guys are hot.

153
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:16,160
Alright, here we go.

154
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,160
Question number one, which of the following is the most common language used on the Internet?

155
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:20,160
1.

156
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:21,160
English.

157
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:22,160
2.

158
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:23,160
French.

159
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:24,160
3.

160
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:25,160
German.

161
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:26,160
4.

162
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:27,160
English.

163
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:28,160
5.

164
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:29,160
French.

165
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:30,160
6.

166
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:31,160
English.

167
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:32,160
7.

168
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:33,160
English.

169
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:34,160
8.

170
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:35,160

Alright, number two is a multiple choice question.

175
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:40,160
Is it French, Chinese, German, or Russian?

176
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:41,160
Which is number two?

177
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:42,160
French, Chinese, German, or Russian?

2.

188
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:53,160
French.

189
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:54,160
3.

190
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:55,160
German.

191
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:56,160
4.

192
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:57,160
French.

193
00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:58,160

194
00:06:58,160 --> 00:06:59,160

English.

203
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:08,160

204
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:09,160

205

the web a complete platform?

212
00:07:17,380 --> 00:07:18,380
A.

213
00:07:18,380 --> 00:07:19,380
Erik Olman.

214
00:07:19,380 --> 00:07:20,380
12.

215
00:07:20,380 --> 00:07:21,380
Where did the revised version of Thumbnail come from?

216
00:07:21,380 --> 00:07:22,380
A.

217
00:07:22,380 --> 00:07:24,380
The website called Facebook, I think, in Spain or indeed Spain,

218
00:07:24,380 --> 00:07:25,380
was originally focused on forms of electronic mail media.

219
00:07:25,380 --> 00:07:26,380
14.

220
00:07:26,380 --> 00:07:27,380
The world's largest software used on the Internet

221
00:07:27,380 --> 00:07:28,380
called Thumbnail.

222
00:07:28,380 --> 00:07:29,180
Which of the following revised phone and closing

223
00:07:29,180 --> 00:07:29,640
of documents I found on the Internet that

224
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:30,220
make a line with a hint on rumput at the highest

225
00:07:30,220 --> 00:07:30,980
and highest level.

226
00:07:30,980 --> 00:07:31,980
15.

227
00:07:31,980 --> 00:07:32,980
A.

228
00:07:32,980 --> 00:07:33,500
The first the multiple choice question about

229
00:07:33,500 --> 00:07:34,120
how different configurations of

230
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:34,880
Phunganri would

231
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:35,640
How did the two phunganri

232
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:39,640
What's it? In 1993, in 1989, 1985, or 1981?

233
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:40,640
You know what? 1985.

234
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:43,640
1985. That is wrong. You have to put it in 1981.

235
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:45,640
Alright, we have time for one more question in this round, Don.

236
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:47,640
In the classic text-to-text computer game Zork, you're occasionally told it is pitch black.

237
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:51,640
When it happens, what is likely to happen to you? Will you be attacked by a troll, fall down a well, be attacked by a dragon, or be eaten by a brew?

238
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:53,640
Alright, this is my new game. Remember? Eaten by a brew.

239
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:54,640
Eaten by a brew is right. You're correct.

240
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:58,640
Alright, we're going to be playing a mysterious game. You guys know what you're talking about.

241
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:07,640
Alright, if you're in the round 1, let's go 50 equals negative 10.

242
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:08,640
Okay, we're ready to go. Ready, Don?

243
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:09,640
I'm more than ready to do it.

244
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:11,640
Alright, we are ready for round 2 of Computer Go.

245
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:13,640
Again, if now I have 50 points over here, minus 10, what's going to happen to you guys in the break?

246
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:15,640
I don't know. 50 to minus 10, who's going to go first?

247
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:16,640
Alright, there's something that is familiar to us. There's microphones on Mars.

248
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:17,640
What?

249
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:18,640
There are now several microprocessors on Mars.

250
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:19,640
How many microprocessors are currently on the surface of Mars?

251
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:20,640
Is it 2, 5, 10, or 100?

252
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:21,640
You're about to find out.

253
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:22,640
Alright, can you look to the right, Robert?

254
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:23,640
Alright, 5. That is not the correct answer.

255
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:24,640
I don't know why a total of 5 is on 2.

256
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:28,640
One on the 5, 5, and one on the 1, actually. So there are 2 microprocessors on Mars.

257
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:29,640
Let's move on to the next question, Don.

258
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:31,640
Alright, who's favorite graduate student is one of the most successful business companies called Yahoo?

259
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:32,640
Can you name them both?

260
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:33,640
Alright, Michael.

261
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:34,640
Sherry Yang and...

262
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:35,640
What was the other one?

263
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:36,640
Alright, the first name is...

264
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:37,640
That is what he said.

265
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:38,640
You know who FIOL is.

266
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:39,640
Yeah, I'm probably FIOL.

267
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:40,640
Alright, that is...

268
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:41,640
Yeah!

269
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:42,640
Woo!

270
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:43,640
That is not even an answer.

271
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:44,640
Alright, yeah.

272
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:45,640
That is FIOL.

273
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:46,640
Alright, you were close enough on that.

274
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:47,640
Alright, don't give him that.

275
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:48,640
Alright, no bull in here.

276
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:49,640
Come on, he's a very sensitive technology guy.

277
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:54,640
Alright, the next question is from a person who is a big fan of the word, Big Blue, but there is also a world champion chicken player program. What's it called? Is it Chinook, a veteran chicken king, or Jumpmaster?

278
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:55,640
Yes, Robert, Jumpmaster.

279
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:56,640
No, that is not right.

280
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:57,640
That's a parachute program.

281
00:08:57,640 --> 00:08:58,640
It is Chinook.

282
00:08:58,640 --> 00:08:59,640
Alright, next one, Don.

283
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:00,640
Alright, what is the acronym for the term professional read?

284
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:01,640
Look at this group.

285
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:02,640
Worker.

286
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:03,640
Worker is right.

287
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:07,640
Alright, now our next celebrity question on video from Randy Patak, corporate vice president and IMT general manager with Motorola.

288
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:08,640
Here is Randy's question for you.

289
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,640
The Motorola cable modem provides up to 10 megabits per second to a user on a PC.

290
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:13,640
How many times faster is that than a 56k modem?

291
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:19,640
Is it 8 times faster, 26 times faster, 178 times faster, or 256 times faster?

292
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:20,640
I think we can go on and read it here, Robert.

293
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:21,640
278.

294
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:22,640
278.

295
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:23,640
Alright, well done.

296
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:24,640
Alright, we're back to Bill.

297
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:25,640
Let's talk about Bill.

298
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:26,640
Alright, we're back to Bill.

299
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:29,640
In a famous Thai movie, the following line is spoken, My instructor was Mr. Leng Lee and he taught me this famous song. If you'd like to hear it, I can sing it for you.

300
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:30,640
Who spoke that line?

301
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:31,640
Bill Nye.

302
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:32,640
Bill Nye.

303
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:33,640
Absolutely.

304
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:34,640
Alright, we're going to go with Bill.

305
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:35,640
Each person has a good chance now.

306
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:36,640
It's a bonus round.

307
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:37,640
You've got three questions.

308
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:38,640
You can get 10, 20, or 30 points if you join the category.

309
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:39,640
The category is songs having to do with technology.

310
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:43,640
10, 20, or 30 points for questions.

311
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:44,640
Oh my god, oh wait.

312
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:47,640
When Microsoft launched Windows 95, they got the clever idea of using a Rolling Stones song to launch the event.

313
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:49,640
The song was Scott Joplin, that's too easy, that's not the question.

314
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:51,640
How much did Microsoft pay for Rolling Stones for the right to use the song Scott Joplin?

315
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:54,640
Was it $500,000, 1 million, 12 million, or did they get it for nothing?

316
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:55,640
You've got 10 seconds to think.

317
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:58,640
How much, if anything, did Microsoft pay to use Scott Joplin to perform the Rolling Stones?

318
00:09:58,640 --> 00:09:59,640
Mike?

319
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:00,640
1 million.

320
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:01,640
No one's going to answer.

321
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:02,640
12 million is the answer.

322
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:03,640
12 million is the answer.

323
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:04,640
Alright, let's keep it rolling.

324
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:05,640
No time for two lines.

325
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:06,640
You've still got time.

326
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:07,640
It's getting easier.

327
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:09,640
Alright, are you ready?

328
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:10,640
I hear you, get out.

329
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:13,640
Earlier this year, Bill Gates sang a song on National Television on the ABC program 2020.

330
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:14,640
What song did he sing?

331
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:15,640
Gates sang a song on 2020 on ABC.

332
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:16,640
What was the song?

333
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:17,640
Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.

334
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:18,640
Alright, 30 points.

335
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:19,640
Okay, good.

336
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:20,640
We are back where we started from.

337
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:21,640
Alright, another chance to make 30 points to catch up here.

338
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:23,640
When you saw Windows 95 by default, it made a distinctive musical sound.

339
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:25,640
That short piece of music, believe it or not, was created by a well-known musician.

340
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:27,640
Was it David Bowie, Mick Jagger, Brian Gino, or Elton John?

341
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:29,640
Who made that little brrring noise on Windows 95?

342
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:31,640
Was it Britten by Jagger, or was it John Phillips' Cousin?

343
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:32,640
What's that little brrring noise?

344
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:37,640
Alright, Jagger, Edo, Bill or Bowie?

345
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:38,640
Edo's right, 30 points.

346
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:39,640
Alright, I'm getting close.

347
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:40,640
One more chance to make at least 30 now.

348
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:41,640
John, go do it.

349
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:42,640
What was the last year a young man in Guinness School and won the Intergraph Point of Violation

350
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:43,640
tournament for the most richest computer game competition?

351
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:44,640
He won $60,000 in prize money in something else.

352
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:45,640
What is that something else?

353
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:46,640
I don't know the answer to that.

354
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:47,640
Alright, Denise?

355
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:48,640
A bundle of chocolate to play with my date.

356
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:49,640
No, no, no.

357
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:50,640
He actually won a Ferrari sports car.

358
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:51,640
God damn, he's fresh.

359
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:52,640
He won a Ferrari.

360
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:53,640
He's fresh.

361
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:54,640
Oh, yes.

362
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:55,640
Equally reliable.

363
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:56,640
Uh oh, uh oh.

364
00:10:56,640 --> 00:11:03,640
I'm going to have to go back to the computer museum.

365
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:04,640
Here's another question.

366
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:05,640
Intel's latest version of the Pentium processor is the Pentium II chip.

367
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:06,640
In what country did Intel pass off the Pentium II as a file?

368
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:07,640
What's this?

369
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:08,640
Japan?

370
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:09,640
United States?

371
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:10,640
China?

372
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:11,640
Or Israel?

373
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:12,640
Alright, Jack?

374
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:13,640
No, that's not the answer.

375
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:14,640
The correct answer was China.

376
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:15,640
But we do not.

377
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:16,640
That's the answer was China.

378
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:17,640
Go on to the next question.

379
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:18,640
Alright, there are a lot of strange websites out there without the URL.

380
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:19,640
Which of the following is not a real website?

381
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:20,640
The cat that looks like Hitler?

382
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:21,640
The official French fries page?

383
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:22,640
Driveways of the rich and famous?

384
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:23,640
Or Underwater Baseball?

385
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:24,640
Alright, Jack?

386
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:25,640
Driveways of the rich and famous.

387
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:26,640
What's the best thing about that?

388
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:27,640
Google, because I've known them since 6.

389
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:28,640
Alright, Jack.

390
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:29,640
prohibit backfire?

391
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:30,640
I'm trip for bad guys, which I will not allow.

392
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:31,640
No.

393
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:32,640
You're out.

394
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:33,640
That's the best point.

395
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:34,640
The software isn't locked on website.

396
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:35,640
The software isn't locked on website.

397
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:36,640
Why?

398
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:37,640
Yes, because if you prevail...

399
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:52,640
Wait, I feel like getting that point just now.

400
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:54,640
I'm going to have to do this.

401
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:56,640
I'm going to have to do this.

402
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:58,640
This practice is by a failure.

403
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:00,640
And since this failure is by a failure,

404
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:02,640
I'm going to have to do this.

405
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:04,640
Last question is coming up.

406
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:06,640
Veronica is an internet search tool.

407
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:08,640
What do the letters V-E-R-O-N-I-C-A stand for?

408
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:10,640
Who knows what the Veronica acronym is?

409
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:12,640
I don't know, but it's one of those 98.

410
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:14,640
Can you get that on the map?

411
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:16,640
That was our point of stance for

412
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:18,640
a very easy, robo-toriented,

413
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:20,640
net-wide index to computerize archives.

414
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:22,640
Why does the underground seaway

415
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:24,640
to the devil in the west coast have 8 seagulls

416
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:26,640
babbling down South America with the

417
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:28,640
Allahu Akbar sign?

418
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:49,660
Whatever that little

419
00:12:49,660 --> 00:12:51,660
very distant mountain's,

420
00:12:51,660 --> 00:12:53,660
there are girls

421
00:12:53,660 --> 00:12:56,660
We'll go back to Boston for the final two rounds of this tenth annual Computer Bowl

422
00:12:56,660 --> 00:12:58,660
to see whether the techies from the East Coast can catch up with the geeks from the West Coast

423
00:12:58,660 --> 00:13:00,660
in a contest that even knows more about the trivia of computers and the Internet.

424
00:13:00,660 --> 00:13:01,660
Here's how John Ratzenberger joins me again as co-host.

425
00:13:01,660 --> 00:13:03,660
The contestants will be the same, including X-Games' Mark Angrison,

426
00:13:03,660 --> 00:13:05,660
New York Times columnist Denise Caruso, and two-X-Cats Cook,

427
00:13:05,660 --> 00:13:06,660
SBA President Ken Walsh, Walt Mossberg of the Wall Street Journal,

428
00:13:06,660 --> 00:13:07,660
and Robert G. F. of Giff Brothers Investment.

429
00:13:07,660 --> 00:13:27,660
The conclusion of Computer Bowl Ten from Boston, coming up next week on the Computer Chronicles.
